Timms Solicitors has announced the promotion of family lawyer Melissa Knight to the position of Associate Solicitor.
The role will see her take on increased responsibilities, including business management, financial oversight, and the mentoring and development of junior staff.
Melissa’s promotion marks a significant milestone—not only for her personally, but also for the firm—as she becomes the first to be appointed directly to the Associate role without completing Timms’ usual in-house development programme. Her progression is a reflection of her exceptional leadership, tireless commitment, and forward-thinking approach to family law.
A passionate advocate for society’s most vulnerable, Melissa has earned a reputation for both professional excellence and compassionate representation.
Commenting on her promotion, Melissa said:
“I’m thrilled to have been appointed as an Associate Solicitor at Timms. The firm has supported my professional growth every step of the way since I joined five years ago. It’s an honour to be part of a team with such a strong reputation for family law and legal services across the Midlands—built over more than 130 years.”
Timms Solicitors has offices in Derby, Burton-on-Trent, Ashby, and Swadlincote, and continues to grow its legacy as a trusted name in legal services throughout the region.
